We do this on Universe with a mixture of HTTP requests, XML and CORBA
services.

Might be something that you could do with MQ Series. It seems to run on
a
lot of different hardware. I don't know a lot about SOAP. But I think it
is
a request to exchange information. I think you could set up one MQ queue
to
send the request. And another to receive the response. You would need
some
type of tracking number to match the original request to the response.
MQ
has the added feature that if one of the servers is down, the messages
just
queue up until the down server is back.

Subject: [U2] [UD 6.0] Address verificcation calls to the web


Hi All,

I have seen a bunch of postings on this list lately about linking
Unidata 
(and Universe) to the outside world but I am not sure if the answers
that I 
am looking for have been talked about, or not. So, finally, I am going
to 
ask the question.

We would like to subscribe to an address verification service on the
web. 
When an address is entered or changed on our system, we want to send a
call 
to a web-service. We do approx. 150,000 address entries per month. (Some

month's will be bigger than that and some month's will be less than
that) We

have considered and rejected scrubbing our entire database of addresses.
It 
was thought that only the currently active addresses need to be
corrected 
and if an old customer decides to become active again, we'll verify them
at 
that time. The service that we think we're going to go with uses SOAP,
if 
that helps.

Has this type of interface been done already? If so, how did you do it?
I 
mean, can you make the calls directly from UniBasic or did you create a 
flat-file and export it to Unix first? If you export it to Unix, did you
use

Perl? Or some other tool? Also, this whole process needs to be pretty
quick 
since it is a Order-entry screen.

We would appreciate any help that you all can offer!

Thanks in advance,
